module: lineinfile
short_description: Ensure a particular line is in a file
description:
- This module will search a file for a line, and ensure that it is present or absent.
- This is primarily useful when you want to change a single line in a
file only. For other cases, see the M(copy) or M(template) modules.
version_added: "0.7"
options:
- name:
required: true
description:
- The file to modify
- regexp:
required: true
description:
- The regular expression to look for in the file. For I(state=present),
the pattern to replace. For I(state=absent), the pattern of the line
to remove.
- state:
required: false
choices: [ present, absent ]
default: "present"
aliases: []
description:
- Whether the line should be there or not.
- line:
required: false
description:
- Required for I(state=present). The line to insert/replace into the
file. Must match the value given to C(regexp).
- insertafter:
required: false
default: EOF
description:
- Used with I(state=present). If specified, the line will be inserted
after the specified regular expression. Two special values are
available; C(BOF) for inserting the line at the beginning of the
file, and C(EOF) for inserting the line at the end of the file.
choices: [ BOF, EOF ]
default: EOF
- backup:
required: false
default: no
description:
- Create a backup file including the timestamp information so you can
get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
examples:
- code: lineinfile name=/etc/selinux/config regexp=^SELINUX= line=SELINUX=disabled
- code: lineinfile name=/etc/sudoers state=absent regexp="^%wheel"
